#8 Taynara Conti
Real Name: Taynara Melo de Carvalho
Trending
Height and Weight: 5'5" 120 lbs
Years in the business: 3 (rookie.)
Taynara Conti is a former Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion, holding a black belt in the first art and a blue belt in the second. She was a fourth-place runner up in national championship.
Conti was originally a rhythmic gymnastics competitor but soon gravitated toward the world of martial arts. She was scouted by WWE and joined their performance center in 2016. She participated in the second Mae Young Classic and won her first round match. Conti has since made a few appearances on NXT, often in losing efforts.
Why she deserves a push: Conti is the first Brazilian woman to join the WWE, and the first Brazilian wrestler to appear at a WrestleMania.
Her martial arts and gymnastics background mean she can move with feline grace, and she offers something different than the vast majority of WWE's female roster.
